Jafe Decorating is Business of the Year RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After having to reinvent their business several times over the years, Jafe Decorating has had back-to-back record years and is on pace to have another record breaking year in 2016. With that in mind, the Darke County Community Improvement Corporation named the company the 2016 Business of the Year. The award was presented at the annual Economic Development Forum on May 20 at Romer’s Catering in Greenville. Jafe Decorating has been in business for 38 years and was founded by Lloyd Williams. Today, Randy O’Dell owns and operates the small business. In the past six years, the company has expanded its facility and doubled the number of employees. They currently employ 73 individuals. Their most recent expansion of 14,000 square feet was completed

in December 2014. Jafe Decorating has been a huge supporter of the Emerging Workforce initiative and recently received a 20 Under 20 Award for providing an internship to a high school student. O’Dell expressed his appreciation for the award, “Wow, what an award. With all of the great companies we have in Darke County, this is truly an honor.” Although he has been at the helm of this successful business for the past six years, O’Dell was quick to point out there were two individuals that made a tremendous impact on how he approaches owning a small business. When he was ﬁrst getting started in the workforce, he said he worked for a very special guy who had the American dream of owning his own small business. O’Dell recalled, “He had just purchased a hardware store in Arcanum and was going to merge his appliance and repair business with that. That special guy was my dad. My dad al-

Rhyan Turner spoke about his internship with Midmark and how it helped shape his educational and career goals.

ways said, ‘Work hard and good things will happen.’” The other person was Williams. “I learned a lot about business and a lot about life. Lloyd stressed the importance of planning and never losing sight of your dreams.” More than his mentors, he praised his employees for taking hold of the plan they’ve put in place. He said they drive the company and they drive the growth. “They make it happen every day at our plant,” he added. O’Dell admits capacity at Jafe Decorating is once again starting to get tight

and the success they’ve witnessed over the past six years might only be the start of something great for the company. “Our expansion plans are just getting started for our next expansion,” he said. Lisa Wendel, Darke County Workforce Development director, shared the efforts to keep Darke County’s “best and brightest” in the county will eventually succeed. Local industry and schools continue to work together to show students the oppor-

tunities available in the county. A program derived from this partnership is high school mentorships. Rhyan Turner, a senior at Bradford, was given an opportunity to be an intern in the engineering department at Midmark. The company had to rewrite its “no one under 18” rule in order to make the program happen. For Turner, it was an opportunity to experience and focus on a future career. The internship allowed him to determine

his career path when he heads off to the University of Akron in the fall. He originally settled on mechanical engineer, but after experiencing several different sides of engineering, he is now focusing on software engineering. He will be working at Midmark full-time this summer and believes, “When I go to college I will have plenty of experience and plenty of opportunities after college.”

Work moving along on Greenville’s new school SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Work at Greenville’s new K-8th grade building is moving right along, board members heard during a work session held Thursday, May 19. Work on interior walls, including painting, installation of cabinetry and windows continue to take place. Exterior work includes the completion of concrete curbs with grading and preparation for sidewalks along Ohio Street. “Things are moving along and are progressing,” Gina Frick of Garmann Miller Architects told the board. Frick discussed the proposed storage barn that will be placed behind the school, telling board members the cost will most likely be somewhere near $80,000. The next step will be to obtain a permit for the storage unit from the city of Greenville.

Frick also presented information concerning the abatement and demolition of four of the district’s current buildings, which will be vacated after the December/January move-in to the new school. In keeping with the Ohio School Facilities Commission, Garmann Miller will be working with Gilbane Inc. to set up a schedule for the demolition of the junior high, Woodland, East and South school buildings. According to Superintendent Doug Fries, the schedule will be set up so that an auction, the abatement process, then demolition will take place about a month apart at each location. The ﬁrst auction/demo project is expected to begin in mid-January. The footprint for each demolition project will be seeded with grass, Frick said. The board also discussed the possibility of turning the footprint of the junior high building into a parking lot for Memorial Hall.

State of the Heart earns Hospice Honors GREENVILLE – State of the Heart Care has been named a 2016 Hospice Honors recipient by Deyta Analytics, a division of HEALTHCAREﬁrst, the leading provider of web-based home health and hospice software, outsourced billing and coding services, and advanced analytics. Hospice Honors is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view. “Hospice Honors is a landmark compilation of hospices that provide

the best patient and caregiver experiences,” said Bobby Robertson, President and CEO of HEALTHCAREﬁrst. “I am extremely proud of State of the Heart Care for achieving this highest of honors and I congratulate them on their success.” Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of April through September 2015. In order to receive the award, hospices must have partnered with Deyta Analytics, a division of HEALTHCAREfirst,

as their survey partner and must have had at least one completed survey returned in each quarter of the evaluation period. Award recipients were identiﬁed by evaluating hospices’ performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures.

pices contained in Deyta Analytics’ Hospice CAHPS database. State of the Heart Care Director of Business Development, Laura Retter, credits the receipt of this honor with having a truly dedicated staff. She said, “You can’t receive an honor of this magnitude without a caring and compassionate staff who have a true heart for hospice. It wouldn’t matter what else we did as an agency, if we didn’t have the highest quality staff, our efforts wouldn’t amount to anything.”

The step daughter started it and had been grabbing the suspect’s crotch. At first the suspect would tell her to stop, but over time the suspect started liking the attention. The victim reported the suspect was drunk or high and he started hugging the step daughter. The juvenile asked him to stop and let go. The victim and her husband decided the juvenile needed to go to her mother’s. She was taken out of the house and this upset the suspect. The victim was sitting in a chair in her room when the suspect came in and said, “Bring her Back.” The victim said no. The suspect pulled a large hunting knife and stabbed the victim’s door. The knife went completely through the door. The suspect then stated if the juvenile wasn’t back by 3:05 p.m. (the time she gets off the bus) he was going to kill the whole family. The suspect then flipped over an aquarium that had a lizard in it; breaking the aquarium. The victim was afraid she would be seriously harmed and grabbed the dogs and went outside to call the police. Officers made entry into the residence and arrested the suspect. The suspect was charged with Aggravated Menacing. CHILD ENDANGERING

On May 24, at approximately 11:23 p.m., an officer observed a juvenile female in the parking lot of the Speedway Gas Station, on Sweitzer Street. The juvenile female had a large blanket wrapped around her and she was sitting in front of the store on the ground. The officer made contact with the juvenile in order to check her welfare. The juvenile informed the officer she lives across the street and she walked to the gas station because she has been home alone all day and she got scared because she heard noises in her house. The juvenile stated she has been at Speedway for approximately one hour. The juvenile also stated her mother left the house on the same morning around 9 a.m. because she had an appointment and she has not been home since and no adult had physically checked on her throughout the day. Her mother called her on their house phone a couple of times during the day to check on her and believes the last call was around 5 or 6 p.m. The officer transported the juvenile across the street to her residence to see if her mother was home. They went into the residence in order to check and see if her mother had returned home. Upon entering the residence, the officer found a calendar hanging on the wall and on the 24th of May it had listed “juvenile court at 9 a.m.” The juvenile and

ofﬁcer left the residence to transport her to the Greenville Police Department. While traveling to the police department, the juvenile’s mother was found walking south bound on Sweitzer Street near the Back in Time Cafe. I stopped and made contact with the juvenile’s mother who will now be referred to in this report as the “defendant”. I asked the defendant where she has been all day and she stated she had an appointment in the morning; then she has been with a friend on West Fourth Street for the rest of the day. The defendant stated that her cell phone died while she was at her friend’s house. The defendant wrote a statement about the incident and in the statement it says that she called home at 11:30pm to check on the juvenile and the juvenile answered which is clearly false because I located the juvenile at Speedway at 11:23 p.m. and the juvenile advised that she had been there for approximately one hour. The defendant was issued a misdemeanor citation for Child Endangering. The juvenile was released to the custody of her mother. I made contact with Amy Locke from Darke County Children Services and informed her of the situation. Locke advised me she is familiar with the family and she will conduct her own investigation on the incident. A copy of the report was also faxed to Children Services. CPO VIOLATION

On May 22, at approximately 5 a.m., an officer responded to 118 Redwood Drive in reference to a CPO violation. The officer spoke to victim Dana Dynes and her boyfriend Bryan Penny. Dynes advised she and her husband Jeffry Dynes are currently separated and she had been granted a CPO in March 2016. She stated she and her boyfriend Bryan were in bed on this date and when she awoke her estranged husband Jeffry was standing beside her bed shinning the flashlight of his phone onto her face. Jeffry began yelling at Dana and wanted to know why there was a man in bed with their children. Dana stated sometime during the night she and Jeffry’s three year old and five year old children got into bed with Dana and Bryan. Bryan stated during this time he awoke and observed Jeffry in the bedroom. Bryan stated Jeffry then began yelling at him stating that he was going to kill Bryan. Dana stated she grabbed her phone and began calling 911. Jeffry attempted to take her phone away from her when Bryan told Jeffry he better not touch her. At the time Jeffry exited the residence and left the area

in his vehicle. Dana stated she often leaves her doors unlocked and that is how Jeffry got into the residence. Dana stated Jeffry has done this twice before but she never called the police. Dana stated she and Jeffry both resided at this residence until he left the residence in February. The officer searched the area along with other officers and they were unable to locate Jeffry or his vehicle. At 6:19 a.m., the victim telephoned GPD and advised she observed the suspect Jeffry Dynes standing across the street. Dana stated Jeffry was wearing a green shirt and work pants. While checking the area, the officer observed a vehicle matching Jeffry’s vehicle drive through a parking lot near Dana’s residence at a high rate of speed. The vehicle turned eastbound on E. Main St. A traffic stop was conducted at Driftwood and E. Main St. Jeffry was the driver of the vehicle. The suspect exited the vehicle and was placed under arrest for CPO violation. He denied violating the protection order and was transported to Darke County Jail. Bond is $1025. THEFT

On May 23, at approximately 4 p.m., an ofﬁcer was dispatched to Dave Knapp Ford in reference to a stolen vehicle. The complainant, Jeff Bixler, advised they are missing a gray 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The vehicle was on the lot at about 4 p.m. on May 21 and was found to be missing on May 23 at about 1 p.m. The keys for the truck have been accounted for. There was auto glass on the ground where the truck was parked. Bixler will check to see if surveillance video is available. On May 5, a refrigerator was reported stolen from the 200 block of Hall Streets. Suspects, Colin and Sarah Bradburn, are at large and will be cited.

DUI

On May 22, at 2 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the intersection of Wayne and Union Streets in reference to an accident. The officer observed a vehicle sitting in the ditch facing the wrong way on the west side of Wayne Street between the roadway and the railroad tracks. The female driver was identified as Jeanna Boner. She advised she was going over the railroad tracks and tried to make the right turn onto Wayne Street from Union Street. Boner said her car wouldn’t turn and just kept going straight into a fence and a street sign located on the east side of Wayne Street. She tried to back up and leave but she couldn’t because her wheels were stuck and making her turn right. She then drove into the ditch between the railroad tracks and Wayne Street. The officer observed that she had glassy blood shot eyes and a strong odor of alcoholic beverage which became stronger as she spoke. The officer had rescue squad dispatched to the scene. Witnesses were sitting on the porch on Union Street when Boner drove by at a high rate of speed. They heard her hit the brakes; making the tires squeal as she approached the railroad tracks. They heard the car hit something and then turn around and shut off. Boner refused to be transported to the hospital by rescue. The officer asked Boner to perform a series of field sobriety tests and she agreed to do so. The officer said she did bad on the standardized field sobriety tests. Boner was arrested and transported to the Greenville Police Department. Boner agreed to take a breathalyzer test. She was then placed under an administrative license suspension. Boner was charged with reasonable control and OVI. She was released to a friend.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST In 1916 the Arcanum First National Bank stood on the corner of George and Main Streets. The building still stands and is currently being used as a church.

KAY BROWN’S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from 1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd,

where they discussed these same postcards cover 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVay’s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for 11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

This postcard is from 1909 and shows the Castine Train Station.

Some Bradford residents may remember this view of City Hall and Water Tower in 1914. The Old White Building in Ansonia didn’t have good things to say about the town in 1908. The sign points out the town was “dry” and the taxes were high.

ON YOUR MIND

A Day to Remember Our Fallen Heroes

S i n c e the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003, 275 Ohio soldiers have BILL BEAGLE lostSENATEtheir OHIO lives in acBILL BEAGLE tion. 275 OHIO SENATE stories of bravery and determination came to an abrupt end in battlefields far from the comforts of home. 275 families were left to pick up the pieces and continue with their lives after receiving the news they dreaded most. Why did these soldiers give their lives? Ohio Congressman James A. Garfield asked the same question on May 30, 1868, as he addressed a crowd gathered in Arlington National Cemetery for the country’s first official Memorial Day ceremony. As they adorned the graves of Civil War soldiers with flowers and sang hymns, the future president asked them to consider “what high motive” led over 600,000 Union soldiers to make a “heroic sacrifice” on the blood-soaked battlefields around the nation. The answer is the same in 2016 as it was in 1868. Our fallen soldiers gave their lives to protect our freedom. They sacrificed because of their love for the first country on earth that was founded not on an ethnic identity, religion or shared history but on the idea that all people are created equal. They sacrificed to defend our country from all threats to security and sovereignty.

They and their families demonstrated the true cost of living in freedom. How can we as Ohioans honor those who lay down their lives for their country? In the middle of a divisive election year, we can intentionally take a break from politics and unite as one nation to remember sacrifice that knows no political party or candidate. When we see a road named after a fallen soldier in our own community, we can pause for a moment to give thanks for a life lived in service to a higher cause. We can treat the parades, picnics and ceremonies we attend as more than an unofficial celebration of summer’s advent. We can further the cause of the fallen by fighting to make sure our soldiers are fully equipped in the line of duty and our veterans have the resources they need to flourish in civilian life. Wherever we happen to be this last Monday in May, let us do whatever we can to honor the sacrifice of soldiers that, in the words of James A. Garfield, “made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” That day in 1868, Garfield closed his speech with these words: “Here, where the grim edge of battle joined; here, where all the hope and fear and agony of their country centered; here let them rest, asleep on the Nation’s heart, entombed in the Nation’s love!” This Memorial Day, join me in remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Increasing access to biological drugs COLUMBUS—The Ohio House recently passed legislation that allows pharmacists to substitute biologically similar products, or “biosimilars,” for any biological product prescribed by a physician. This is a similar concept to a consumer obtaining a generic prescription medication rather than a more expensive brand name drug. Biologics are a proteinbased drug derived from living cells cultured in a laboratory and are given by injection or intravenous (IV) infusion. Due to the complex structure of a biologic, they are not easily identiﬁed or characterized, making them difﬁcult and costly to duplicate precisely. House Bill 505, sponsored by State Representatives Dorothy Pelanda (R-Marysville) and Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City), will allow a pharmacist to provide a biosimilar drug, which is a similar copy of a biologic drug, so long as the FDA has deemed the biologic “interchangeable.” “This legislation will give choices to patients, physicians, and health plans for their FDA-approved medications,” said Rep. Huffman. “It will also save millions for both

Medicaid and private insurance.” According to the bill sponsors, these biological medications can cost $1,000 to $10,000 per month to treat life threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes and MS. By allowing a biosimilar to be provided by the pharmacists, it can cost the consumer 20 to 30 percent less than their corresponding brand name biologic. With pharmacists being able to substitute these interchangeable drugs, Pelanda says consumers and the state of Ohio can save signiﬁcant amounts of money, especially for citizens on Medicaid and Medicare. “House Bill 505 accomplishes the goal of allowing pharmaceutical costs to come down with these interchangeable products and I applaud the House for passing this important measure today,” Rep. Pelanda stated. Ultimately, HB 505 aims to increase competition among pharmaceutical companies in an effort to reduce drug costs for patients and provide more treatment options. The bill now awaits consideration by the Ohio Senate.

Committee planning for AO Tournament GREENVILLE – Preparations for the 35th annual Annie Oakley Golf Tournament are underway. Last year 100 golfers signed up for the 18-hole event, which benefited the Cancer Association of Darke County. Committee members for the tournament are Matt & Angie Arnold, Kent & Lynn James, Todd and Beth Durham, Ray & Bettye Laughlin, Ed & Kay Curry, Larry Ullery and Christine Lynn. Last year’s tournament was very successful and the event raised $16,500 for the Cancer Association of Darke County. This fundraiser helped the association to provide benefits to over 250 Darke County residents battling cancer. These benefits were provided in the form of reimbursement for medications, transportation, medical supplies and nutritional supplements such as Ensure. This year’s tournament is scheduled for July 25 at the Turtle Creek Golf Course

and will feature a shotgun start with scramble format, chances to win great prizes and dinner for the golfer and their guest. Most importantly, the proceeds from this fun and exciting event will once again beneﬁt the local and independent Cancer Association of Darke County. Lunch will be served at 11:15 a.m. with tee off time scheduled for 12:15 p.m. Each golfer has the opportunity to win a new car for a hole-in-one on the sixth and 17th hole. Any golfer getting a hole-in-one in the eighth hole will win their choice of premium golf equipment. The golfer getting a hole-inone on the 11th hole will win a Yamaha Golf Cart. Additional information and entry forms for the 35th annual tournament are available at the Cancer Association of Darke County, 548-9960, or email director@cadcinfo.org, or from any tournament committee member.

Correct Posture Month GREENVILLE – Greenville Mayor Michael Bowers along with the American Chiropractic Association has proclaimed the month of May as Correct Posture Month.

Doctors of Chiropractic can reveal spinal problems brought on by poor posture and educate patients on how to prevent pain and injury.

The Wayne Hospital Auxiliary President Michael Kell presented a check in the amount of $12,304 to Lindsey Terrace, director of Emergency Services. The Auxiliary will be purchasing a bladder scanner for the Emergency Department. Ms. Terrace expressed her appreciation to the Auxiliary for the generous donation and explained the scanner will be used to help assess urinary retention and reduce costs. Unnecessary catheterization has been known to cause urinary tract infections. Ms. Terrace also spoke on all the positive changes that have occurred in the Emergency Department this past year, such as seeing more patients. Last month the Emergency Department saw over 2,200 patients in part due to using a teamwork approach. The department also improved nurse to patient ratio which is helping to provide more personalized and individualized care. Kim Freeman, vice-president of Patient Care Services also addressed the group and thanked the volunteers for their commitment to serve Wayne HealthCare and our Darke County community. The Auxiliary will also be purchasing 10 additional tables for the hospital that are needed for Auxiliary and hospital projects. The Auxiliary works all year long generously giving service hours, and sponsors many money making projects, such as quilt rafﬂes, bake sales, book sales, jew-

Septic system program reduces pollution

Mayor Mike Bowers joins individuals from PCS as the prepare South Broadway for Greenville’s Memorial Day celebration.

PCS clients prepare for Memorial Day GREENVILLE – On May 24, individuals from PCS (Person Centered Services), which provide services for those with developmental disabilities (formerly Wayne Industries), let their patriotic pride show as they prepared Broadway in Greenville for Memorial Day. Each had the opportunity to climb the ladder and proudly hang 77 American Flags, two on each light post down both sides of the street. This has become a tradition that started several years ago and unfortunately was suspended for a couple years, but now is up and running again. “It is such a wonderful partnership between PCS and the VFW,” a spokesman for PCS stated, “Our individuals love the veterans so much there isn’t anything they would not do to show their appreciation and respect for them,” he concluded.

After ﬁnishing the Downtown area, the VFW Post on Ohio Street received the same heartfelt treatment and it is obvious it was done with a great passion for those who have and are currently serving in the United States military branches. They will continue this dedication the rest of the season up until Veterans Day in November and hopefully for years to come. In addition, a group from PCS, shops, prepares and delivers meals to veterans who may be house bound or who would just like a good meal and smiling faces to deliver it. Special thanks go out to Bob Klosterman, commander of VFW Post 7262 and its members for help making this all happen. If you know a veteran who would enjoy a meal, contact Jenny or Marilyn at the VFW, 548-4004, for more information.

Blacksmiths wanted GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks is looking for anyone interested in the time honored trade of blacksmithing. People have been working iron for over 3,500 years, and until the relatively recent past, the blacksmith was the hub of the community. The park district is particularly interested in those with experience in the

blacksmith trade, especially Master Blacksmiths, but will take anyone with a passion to learn. To inquire about volunteering to work in the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Blacksmith Shop, call the park ofﬁce at 548-0165. For general information about any Darke County Parks or the park programs, email info@darkecountyparks.org or call the number above.

GREENVILLE – Over the past couple of years, many Ohio counties have implemented a sewage Operation and Maintenance (O&M) program for septic systems. This program is intended to help reduce pollution and save homeowners money by preventing septic system failures. This is done through homeowner education and system monitoring and maintenance. This program will assure that all existing systems, no matter the type or how old they are, are being maintained properly to improve system performance and reduce nuisances. Because of failing septic systems and impermeable clay soils, Ohio passed new sewage rules that became effective January 2015 (OAC 3701-29). Ohio’s sewage rules were not updated since 1977 and enforce-

ment somewhat varied from county to county so it was necessary for Ohio to pass a standard set of rules. These rules mandated an O&M program for local Health Departments and encouraged the existence of continuing programs. Therefore, every homeowner in the state of Ohio is required by law to have an Operation Permit to operate their sewage treatment system (OAC 3701-29-09(I)). Homeowners are basically running their own wastewater treatment plant in their backyards, so it is important they understand the process. In many cases the septic tank is buried and often not thought about. A simple step like putting risers on the tank reminds the homeowner to check the efﬂuent levels, bafﬂe and tank condition, and have it pumped out every three to

Poultry Days Photo Show VERSAILLES – The Darke County Photo Club will be hosting the annual Poultry Days Photo Contest on June 10-12 in Versailles. Awards will be given in each category with the Best of Show Ribbon and $75 prize sponsored by Greenville National Bank. Cash prizes also accompany ﬁrst through third place ribbons and the Sponsor’s Choice Ribbons. The show will be held in the wrestling/multi-purpose building behind the old high school; in the same area as the carnival rides. Photos must be original work and a minimum 5x7 print size is required. The maximum frame size is all sides totaled must not exceed 100-inches. Matting is not required, but is highly recommended. Please use wire hangers. Black & White and Color will be judged together. This is a juried show and they reserve the right

not to hang a photograph. Categories include people, architecture, sea/landscapes, animals, unclassiﬁed, digitally enhanced, photo journalism and student (18 and under). Drop off and pick-up of photos is at PAW’s Bingo, 848 Martin St., Greenville on June 3, 6-8 p.m. and June 4, noon to 4 p.m. There will also be drop off at the wrestling building in Versailles on June 7, 6-8 p.m. Pick-up will be June 12, 4-6 p.m. There is a $5 entry per photo and there is no limit on number of entries.

five years. Many homeowners do not know what type of septic system they have, how to monitor the system, or what components may need attention. Unfortunately, 58 percent of Darke County homeowners do not have an adequate system causing over two million gallons of wastewater discharging daily into our local streams and rivers. Some systems have been illegally tied into drainage tiles and others have failed with sewage found surfacing above the ground. This is a public health risk and makes O&M necessary. A healthy system keeps our groundwater safe, prevents pollution of sewage to our surface waters, and helps protect public health. Another benefit of the O& M program is to help the homeowner if they go to sell their property or if they are looking to purchase a property. The program keeps records from service providers, installers, and septic pumpers on the maintenance performed. All septic systems typically have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years just like most of your home roofs and are a big financial investment. It is important that homeowners are aware of what they are purchasing and how to keep their system operating effectively and efficiently to ensure a

longer life. The O&M permit fee covers the Health Department costs to run the program and the health department is not allowed to charge more than it costs to implement the program. The fees cover the costs of helping to educate the homeowner, record keeping, and ﬁeld visits. Ginger Gehret, Environmental Director stated, “Homeowners have the option of hiring a service provider to perform their inspection if they don’t wish for the Health Department to do so.” The reduced permit fee will still cover the cost of maintenance record keeping. Ohio Administrative Code Section 3701-2923(A) states “The Board of Health may at any reasonable time inspect any sewage treatment system, part thereof, or proposed STS site, to conduct sampling, collect data, or perform other activities necessary to assure compliance with this chapter.” Therefore, the health department will inspect without a service provider contract. For more information on the O&M program, or for a list of Service Providers, contact the Health Department at 548-4196 ext. 208 or visit www.darkecountyhealth.org.

GFD has Dick & Jane Fountain restored GREENVILLE – The City of Greenville Fire Department wishes to extend its utmost thanks and appreciation to Nancy Mueller of Renewed by Grace, Osgood, for the great job she did in restoring the “Dick and Jane” statue this spring by cleaning, priming, and painting it with a fresh coat of striking paint colors to enable the citizens and public to enjoy it for years to come. The “Boy and Girl in the Rain” fountain was given to the Greenville Fire Department in 1892 by Daniel Henne, Jr. He found the fountain in 1890 in France while on a business trip, fell in love with these two little tykes, purchased, crated, and shipped it to Greenville. Henne decided that he would like to share them with everyone and after consulting

with city officials, it was decided that his gift to the city would be accepted and the firefighters would have charge of their safekeeping. The village hired Fred Walters, a local stone mason, to build a suitable pond outside the fire department for the kids to take up residence. The fire department requested permission to place the fountain along the west side of the station. The station was built in 1884 and was located on the northeast corner of the public square, along North Broadway. In 1892, the kids watched the passing of Greenville’s history for the first time. Every year since then, the firefighters have taken the statue inside for the winter for cleaning and repair so that the kids can return to the fountain in good condition each spring. “Dick

and Jane” watched as the old city building was replaced by the fountain and traffic circle on the public square. At the end of the 1960’s, the old fire department, the kid’s first home, met its demise. Watching through a rain, the kids have seen an endless pa-

rade of people over the years: the rich, the poor, the famous, and “just plain folks.” The world around them changes all the time, but “Dick and Jane” never change and that’s as it should be. For that is part of what makes Greenville home.

conclude their program by discussing existing Senior Assistance Programs that are currently available in the area that can provide much needed help if and when it is needed. These programs, they say, are of-

ten not taken advantage of because seniors might not be aware they are readily available or how they might apply for them. After their presentation, a discussion period will follow.

Senior Outreach will speak to PERI GREENVILLE – Leading the way to establishing an activity center for senior citizens as well as providing information about area Senior Assistance Programs, Lauren Henry, executive director of the Wayne Health Care Foundation, and Mindy Stebbins, president of the Darke County Senior Outreach program, will be the guest speakers at the Public Employee Retirees (PERI) luncheon meeting. The meeting will be June 6, 11:30 a.m., at the VFW on Ohio St., Greenville. The cost of lunch is $9 per person Because Henry and Stebbins will be discussing topics that have generated considerable public interest both in the past and the present, PERI is inviting seniors who are not members of their group to

attend. Reservations must be made by June 2 by calling Vivian Nieport, PERI Attendance and Contact Chairman, at 548-3961. As usual, PERI members will be contacted directly by the PERI calling committee and are encouraged to bring guests. Statistics show that Darke County is a naturally occurring retirement community. This means it has more retirees per capita than any other group. Although nursing homes and medical centers are plentiful in the area, statistics also show that Darke is one of only a few counties in the state of Ohio that does not have a Senior Activity Center. This is a center where active seniors, retired or not, can socialize and form new friendships while participating in organized activities that are not only beneﬁcial to their health and welfare but which are enjoyable and fun as well. As one senior, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, “One point is evident in this naturally occurring retirement area. Seniors have tremendous power if they will only realize it and use it. If they want that center, they can get it. Senior power, especially in overwhelming numbers and particularly at voting time, is not to be under estimated.” Henry and Stebbins will

Waveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frens battles injury to reach state GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

DAYTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Trick and AJ Frens represented Darke County well in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) D-I Dayton Regional Championship pole vault event at Daytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welcome Stadium Wednesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville assistant coach/pole vault coach Micah Coblentz. An injury did not stop AJ Frens from qualifying for the state meet as the Green Wave pole vaulter was noticeably limping from a bruised heel received in a fall several days prior to the regional event. Frens was in a walking boot the previous night at the GHS Spring Sports

Awards held at the high school honoring Green Wave spring athletes. He (Frens) had an injured heel,â&#x20AC;? said Coblentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He bruised it the other day when we tried a new pole and he has been ďŹ ghting through it. We had a pretty good practice on Monday. He is still able to run on his toes but it has been effecting his run a little bit.â&#x20AC;? Trick, the only sophomore of the 16 vaulters competing at the D-I regionals was one of three vaulters to ďŹ nish 9th through 11th place with vaults of 14â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was the only sophomore here today competing at the Regional,â&#x20AC;? said Coblentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think both of them (Trick and Frens) have a bright future for next yearâ&#x20AC;Ś and (Trick) the year after.â&#x20AC;?

Frens earned a trip to Columbus despite his injury with a vault of 15â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? as the Greenville junior made a major last minute adjustment on his third and ďŹ nal attempt at 15â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? due to the obvious painful injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That 15-foot attempt on his third tryâ&#x20AC;Śthat is what put him into state,â&#x20AC;? Coblentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to do some major adjusting to accommodate his run and what he was doing today. It was very different than what he was doing usually.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he (Frens) is on a mission and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a bruised heel is going to stop himâ&#x20AC;Śkeep him back from accomplishing that mission,â&#x20AC;? added Coblentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know he had to trust me quite a bit today.

Coach Bashore leaving Wave basketball BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Michael Bashore brought Wave boys basketball from an underperforming program to one that earned a GWOC championship for the first time in 60 years. After four years at the helm, Bashore told his team this week he is leaving. The resignation was confirmed by Athletic Director Randal Swisher. The coach helped Greenville improve from a two-win season the year before he took over to three straight winning seasons. His first year leading the Wave was much improved with an 8-14 record. His second year the team was 14-9. In 2014-15 the Wave

put together an impressive 18-5 season to earn a championship. Bashore also earned Southwest District Coach of the Year honors. This past season, Greenville went 13-11. Prior to taking the boys head coaching position, Bashore had served as an assistant coach boys coach at Versailles for three years. He has also served as a girls reserve coach for four years. There has been no decision as to whether or not the incoming athletic director, Dusty Yingst, will be involved in the hiring process. Keep watching The Early Bird and Bluebag Media for more on this developing story.

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave softball team defeated the Houston Lady Wildcats, a 2016 D-IV Sweet Sixteen school by a 16-4 score in 4-1/2 innings of play to rack-up their 25th win of the season. “We’re just excited to play,” said Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland. “Coming out here today… play another team that’s still alive in the tournament.” “Hitting the ball and its contagious,” continued Newland, “and boy it’s fun right now. Kids are getting better.” Greenville out-hit Houston 17-2 on the night. Lady Wave sophomore Sydney Grote launched a three-run fourth-inning homer over the large scoreboard in center giving Greenville a 13-4 lead. “It went over the scoreboard and the fence is big and the scoreboard is bigger,” said Newland. “That was a shot. I think it was closer to 300 than 200 and just says a lot out of the young lady, the way she swings the bat as a young kid. We have a lot of kids swinging the bat good but boy that ball was shot.” Minnich followed with a double to center and Logan Tabler collected a RBI single to right. Shaffer hit a one-out single to left, Cromwell sent a run home with a double to right and Hill knocked a RBI single to left to give the home team a 16-4 lead with Houston

UC drops Sectional opener BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – The season came to an end for the Union City softball team Monday after a disappointing loss to Lincoln in the Sectional #56 opener. With the newly constructed high school softball ﬁeld, this marked the ﬁrst time in school history Union City hosted the Class A Sectional tournament games. Unfortunately for the Lady Indians, errors and big at-bats for Lincoln led to the 18-3 run-rule defeat after six innings.

UC recorded nine errors during the game which allowed Lincoln to score 14 runs. “Believe it or not, this has been the best overall season we’ve had here since the school added softball seven years ago. Several players broke records this season, so there is a lot of positive going forward,” said UC Coach Michael Dean. “We have high expectations for the future. The travel ball teams are doing extremely well – made up of future Lady Indians.” Union City ﬁnished the

coming to the plate in the top of the fifth. Making her final career home appearance in a Lady Wave uniform, Allison Minnich set the Lady Wildcats down in order with a liner to senior Jazzlyn Petry at first, a 4-3 groundout and a popup to Grote in right. Making their final home appearance for LWSB

along with Minnich was catcher/ﬁrst baseman Jazzlyn Petry and shortstop Ashton Kestor. “25th win for the 13th straight year,” Coach Newland stated. “That’s pretty crazy when you set back and analyze it. Last game ever for three seniors here at the stadium…we can’t play anymore or we would.”

Tyler Kuhn Memorial Tournament draws 25 teams BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

BODY - GREENVILLE – The Greenville Citizens baseball League (GCBL) hosted the inaugural Tyler Kuhn Memorial Baseball Tournament this past Saturday and Sunday at Sater Park. “It’s an amazing thing to be able to get something like this together,” said Greenville Head Varsity Baseball Coach Eric Blumenstock. “We were able to get his family, friends and former teammates out here. Everybody had a good time.” The tournament was held to honor a young man that stood for everything this is right in the game of baseball. Tyler Kuhn was a 2012 graduate of Greenville High School and was the starting centerfielder for the GHS Varsity baseball team. “Tyler played the game the right way,” said Blumenstock. “He came in everyday ready to get better but also always kept it fun and truly enjoyed being on the diamond. He was one of those kids you wish you had nine of.” Tyler lost his life in a tragic car accident on October 2, 2012. While playing for the Green Wave, Tyler wore No. 10 and no player has worn the uniform number since. Tyler’s number was officially retired at the opening ceremonies of the tournament. “I have been wanting to do something like this for Tyler because I know it’s something he would have loved to be a part of,” Blumenstock said of his desire to honor Kuhn and keep his memory alive. 25 teams took part in the tournament with teams coming from as far away as Akron with the field made up of All-Star teams from eight year olds to a junior high division. The tournament is made up of local community teams and does not include “select” teams giving the weekend tournament a community atmosphere. “Everything is community based teams,” shared Blumenstock. “No selects, so you don’t get a team

with kids from seven different cities. Everybody was local. That adds a different feel to it.” “When I approached our commissioner, Scott McKinniss about doing a tournament like this he was all for it,” said Blumenstock. “I think it is going to grow and grow. It’s going to continue to be a real nice tournament.” 50/50 drawings were held and donations received to help fund the newly established Tyler Kuhn Baseball Scholarship for GHS baseball players. “We were able to raise a good chunk of money,” Blumenstock said. “We’re going to be able to start a Tyler Kuhn scholarship for Greenville baseball play-

ers. That will be something that will be nice year to year. We will continue to add on to that and really do some good things in his name.” “Looking forward to next year and building on what we started this year,” added Blumenstock. 8u Champions – Piqua 8u Runner-Up – Newton 9u Champions – Minster 9u Runner-Up – Ellet 12u Champions – Fort Loramie 12u Runner-Up – Greenville Junior High Champions – Arcanum Junior High Runner-Up - Springboro

GREENVILLE – Tyler Cook may be the City of Greenville’s newest firefighter, but he is hardly a stranger to firefighting. Cook was sworn into his new position on May 23 by Greenville Mayor Michael Bowers. Cook was joined by his father and mother, Duane and Lora Cook and his cousin, Damion Cook. Why become a firefighter? Cook easily answered, “It’s in the family.” He comes from a long line of firefighters, including his grandfather, father, uncle and cousin. He said his

looking forward to contributing to the Greenville Fire Department’s mission. Asst. Chief David McDermitt will be retiring in less than a month, but is excited to see a man with Cook’s work ethic join the force. “He’s a good young man, has a good family and is hard working.” Chief Mark Wolf is also excited about his newest firefighter, “We know where he comes from. He is not afraid of hard work.” Cook’s grandfather, Gus Cook, is a former fire chief for the New Madison Volunteer Fire Department and his cousin, Scoob Cook, is the current chief.

Union City Boosters, all-star teams salute local Veterans UNION CITY – This season, the Union Baseball & Softball Boosters are dedicating their all-star/ travel baseball and softball seasons to the community’s local heroes. The all-star/travel baseball teams are taking part in the “Salute to Veterans” initiative. Each player will be wearing blue and black camo (representing both Union City and Mississinawa schools)…while displaying the American ﬂag on their sleeve. The Union City VFW and American Legion both have been active in maintaining the great tradition of baseball and softball in the community through out the programs history. “The men and women of the American Legion and VFW are amazing! They’ve already sacriﬁced so much just so we can have the freedom and prosperity to even worry about things like baseball. They have

never stopped sacriﬁcing and giving to their country and community,” said Booster President Jesse Thacker. “These organizations do so much for our community and we just wanted to show them a small token of thanks for all their sacriﬁce and support.” On Opening Day Saturday, the boys from the allstar/travel teams presented jerseys to Haskell Howard and Allan Addington – representing the Union City VFW and American Legion. Haskell is a WWII veteran, while Addington served in Vietnam. The Union City Baseball & Softball Boosters have also dedicated diamond #4, of the Dylan Williams Memorial Park, to the Veterans of the Armed Forces. The diamond will now be named “Veteran’s Field” in honor of all the men and women who have served in the armed forces.

DeColores seeks toddlers, preschoolers GREENVILLE – As the end of another school year quickly approaches, the DeColores Montessori School is still accepting students for 2016/17. Families with toddlers (ages 1-2) and/or preschoolers (ages 3-5), are encouraged to call and inquire about their programs and set-up a tour and visit. They are happy to show you around our school and what makes DeColores such a special place. Children entering their classrooms for the ﬁrst time are in ‘wonderment’ as they look around at the beautifully prepared, developmentally appropriate environment created just for them. Multi-aged groups and hands-on learning produce the framework of a Montessori classroom. Students are engaged with their classmates and their nurturing teachers, who are Montessori trained student advocates. They truly care about their students and their educational development. These classrooms are not to be missed by any family in their ﬁve county radius.

The 2016/17 school year will be yet another unforgettable year. They are already planning for next fall and are excited about the many possibilities that will unfold. Won’t you consider taking this journey with us? DeColores Montessori is a chartered, non-public school for grades K-9 and a certiﬁed Ohio Department of Education Pre-School and Day Care provider. Their goals are for students to be open-minded and compassionate; to gain a sense of themselves and others; and to understand and appreciate the diversity of the human spirit. They are afﬁliated with The American Montessori Society, and licensed by The State Board of Education and The Ohio Department of Education. For more information about DeColores, or to setup a tour and visit, contact Chris Seger at 547-1334 or by email at decoloresmontessori@gmail.com. It is a great time to check out the DeColores Montessori School!

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Historical Society (DCHS) is dedicated to preserving the history of the county and fostering education on its relevance to the American experience. The DCHS operates the Garst Museum and its mission is to collect, preserve, exhibit, study, and interpret materials relating to the history and culture of Darke County. Clay Johnson, Ph.D., executive director of the Garst Museum, notes that “For those familiar with the county’s history, the area is rich in its history and traditions and its signiﬁcance touches so many in the community. The Garst Museum recognizes this importance and feels it is important to honor those that join in its mission in celebrating the county’s past. As a result, the DCHS’s Heritage Award has been given annually since 2004 to an outstanding citizen or organization for their distinguished contributions which help

connect people to Darke County’s past.” Dr. Johnson continued, “The Darke County Parks District is truly representational of why the Heritage Award was created and I feel they are so deserving of this recognition, not only for what Roger Van Frank and the Darke County Parks does for the museum, but also for what they provide for the county and its citizens. From school tours to the Gathering at Garst, the Parks District has been a stellar partner in sharing the vision of preserving and interpreting the county’s history for generations to come. I was very pleased to have the honor of presenting the 2016 Heritage Award to Roger and the Darke County Parks District.” “I was completely surprised and was absolutely elated that we were chosen for the Heritage Award,” said Darke County Parks Director Roger Van Frank. “This is truly represen-

Little by Little Weight Loss Group meets GREENVILLE – With this crazy weather we’ve been having do you find yourself with a case of the blahs? Do you find yourself over-eating? Do you want to eat healthier, perhaps lose some weight? Could you use some support and encouragement? Would you like to make new friends? If so, you might want to check out the Little by Little Weight Loss Support Group. They meet the first Tuesday of each month in the basement of the East Main Church of Christ, 419 East Main St., Greenville. Doors open approx 5:15 p.m., with the meeting starting at 6 p.m. Meetings last approximately one hour, give or take a few minutes depending on what they have planned. There are no membership fees. Most of the members have had weight loss surgery, but there are also some that haven’t. Feel free to come even if you don’t plan on having surgery. This is a group for adult men and women, 18 and over. Those under 18 are welcome, but need to have an adult present with them. They also do healthy food demonstrations. If you need help to make out a healthy grocery list, or

would like to learn how to plan healthy meals, they can help with that also. They recently celebrated their eight-year Anniversary. They are not doctors so discuss any medical questions you might have with your family doctor. There’s a lift chair available if you can’t do steps. If interested in attending, message Tammy at tammy9157@roadrunner.com or call 621-5129 if you have any questions. Feel free to bring a family member or a friend along.

tative of a group effort between staff, commissioners, and volunteers who help maintain our historical values.” While the Darke County Parks usually evokes thoughts of nature, the park district also does a great deal to preserve the historical heritage of Darke County. “We work hand in hand with the museum,” Van Frank went on. “Both maintain historical heritage in two completely different ways.” The parks’ mission statement says, “The mission of Darke County Park District is to acquire and preserve land areas possessing special natural and historical features and to manage and maintain these resources for the beneﬁt of its residents through appropriate educational and passive recreational programs and activities.” “We try to keep all facets of history alive,” said Van Frank. “We’re thankful for the foresight of Judge Edward Williams, who created the park

district, and the original commissioners, Susan Gray, Dan Schipfer, and Dr. David Cox.” The park district was created in 1972 and Coppess Nature Sanctuary became the ﬁrst park in 1974. The Park District had an ofﬁce at 601 S. Broadway until the Nature Center opened in 1997. Garst Museum and the Park District often cooperate on projects. Both host many school tours during the year, and the students often spend half a day at the museum and the other half at the Nature Center. They also work together on the Gathering at Garst, which has made people more aware of the history of the county, as well as attracting many visitors to the area. The Gathering makes use of the Anthony Wayne Peace Council House and the newly-built Bowery. Both are located at Prairie Ridge Park, adjacent to the Garst Museum.

Coined in 2001, the term “digital native” means someone born in the age of technology. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has prohibited the use of terms such as “recent college graduate,” “young,” and “young blood,” from the recruiting process, but has yet to take a position on the phrase “digital native.” According to the ABA Journal website, the ABA Journal is read by half of the nation’s one million lawyers every month.
